[SHE SHOULD BE EXCITED... she would be excited at any other point, wouldn't she? It gets her brow to tighten in frustration, but she shrugs it off a moment later. Nah, it's not important. Anyways!]
Goat-kun said that there's a path, between where we are and where the removed are. Like a different dimension. None of us can go on that path right now without shattering, but... the leaders can travel it. And that path didn't used to be there.
If they can affect the nova, too, maybe between the two places, we can find a way to make that path safer. Goat-kun said if a removed person could be brought across it without shattering, it would be like reviving them.
[She pauses, blinking at him, before her face screws up in thought for a moment.]
Of course I remember it, but... I didn't understand all of it, Nii-chan. Just some parts. You saw all the boxes, right? There weren't enough letters, and I couldn't figure out what could fit that made any sense. Mostly for the first parts, and for what Oji-san wanted protected.
There's a pause, a flicker of something pained that just barely catches in her eyes, before it dies back to simple warmth. She offers a smile, an easy nod of her head.]
Thank you for telling me. I... I still miss him a lot.
I know I'm not really all that smart, so... maybe when someone figures out what Oji-san meant, they'll find a way to tell someone. I just wish there was more I could have done to help.
Hey! Knock that off, you're plenty clever. Not many people can really figure me out like you have, you know.
(He knows he's difficult. He's secretive, he's a liar, he's always hiding what's really on his mind. Even if it's obvious he's got things going on, not many people can really get answers out of him.)
There are... different types. You know that, right? There are the ones who are good at books and the ones who are quick on the streets. (Book smarts and street smarts, basically.) But there are also the ones who can really grasp people and understand people's hearts.
People that are bright and sharp that can see clearly. That's a special kind of smart.

(She hadn't reacted much when she saw his memory earlier, too...)
He doesn't frown. In fact, he smiles gently at her. But he's worried.)
... Hikaru, do you remember the message you showed me? The one from Schwann?
("Each team must ki████w███ to █e█████t███████")
You understood all of it, didn't you?
(She might be young and she might be childish at times, but she isn't foolish and she's been through too much to really be treated like a child.)

...Why?
no subject
I was just thinking about it. His message to me was missing parts, too. But it's clear he's thinking about us and wants us to do the right thing.
You've wanted to bring everyone back for a long time.
no subject
I... want to do whatever we have to do, Nii-chan.
no subject
(Whatever it takes.)
I wanted to let you know, though. Raven is fine. He's watching over us.
(Which... he feels strange, saying out loud now. But it's not in a bad way.)

Give yourself some credit.

Huh. Really?
...I don't think anybody's ever called me clever before. Are you sure?
no subject
(He's certain!)

no subject
Hikaru seems to think it over for a long moment, like perhaps she wants to argue... before simply nodding.]
All I ever want is to understand.
Thank you, Nii-chan. That means a lot coming from you.
[Still said about as plain as day, even though her smile is subtle, gentle, still not quite there.]
